3D TIME
Time that pops, bold digits with deep shadows and a sharp highlight, like they're glowing right off the screen.
THE SECONDS ARC
Raindrop's signature feature is a glowing arc that grows around the watch ring, second by second, in 5-second segments. Each segment completes with a smooth merge animation before the next begins. Switch to Dot mode for a single orbiting dot that moves continuously around the ring for a sleeker, more subtle look.
ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
On supported devices, Raindrop includes a power-efficient AOD layout, a dim time display with a thin minute-progress arc, keeping your watch readable without draining the battery.
